Hodgman's Frozen Custard - New Gloucester, ME

Hodgman's is the sort of place that calls out all summer to anyone with a sweet tooth and a love for old-fashioned Americana.

"You know it's summer north of Portland when Hodgman's is open for business. It has been a nice-weather ritual around here for nearly 60 years."

"In a grassy knoll to the side of the custard stand is this covered picnic area: a wonderful place to lick cones, sip frappes, or spoon into sundaes."
